Prologue

"Mitsu-nii, let's go out to play tennis with Syu-kun!" shouted a 6 years old Rika. It was her birthday today and she wanted to learn how to play tennis now that she finally got her own red racket with a tennis bag as a birthday present from her parents and her brother.

"Wait! Let me go get my tennis bag!" her older 8 years old Kunimitsu yelled back. As much as he loved his little sister, she is very tiring sometimes.

"But we are going to be late! We told Syu-kun that we are going to be there at 3:00 and now it is 3:15. We should have been there like 15 minutes ago!"

She was already standing there with her tennis bag on her back tapping her shoe in a steady rythmn. Finally, after much waiting, Kunimitsu was finally ready and they head out to the tennis courts. When they got there, Fuji said happy birthday and gave her a present which is a locket in the shape of a tennis ball with a picture of Kunimitsu, Syusuke, and herself inside smiling at the camera.

"Arigatou for the present Syu-kun!"

"Your welcome Rika-chan. Now let's teach you how to play tennis, I know you were very excited when I was talking to you on the phone line."

After hours of teaching Rika and playing a few games, much to their suprise that she cover the basics in less than 1 hour, everybody notice that it was going to be dark soon. Since they all have school tomorrow, they went back home and went to sleep.

~next day afterschool~

"Hey Rika! Do you mind going home alone today? I got classroom clean-up duties to do! I promise to play with you after I went back home!"

"Sure!" Rika told her brother. She couldn't wait to go home by herself for it is going to be the first time she will be doing it since her brother is always so protective of her.

Humming to herself as she stroll home with her tennis bag. When she was passing a dark valley, a hand reach out and grabbed her covering her mouth. She then was dragged into a white van and drove off.

~later on in the day~

"I'm home!" shouted Kunimitsu.

"Welcome back." greeted his mother. "Isn't Rika with you?"

"Wait, isn't she back home already, I told her to wait for me here."

As his mother shook her head no, worst case senarios came up in his mind but he push them away and decide to call Fuji to see if she is at his house. When Fuji didn't see her, they decide to look for her. By the end of the day, they have already search everywhere for her and they decided to call the police. While the police ask them many questions, Kunimitsu's dad was trying to cheer him up without much sucess. After they left, none of them got a good sleep that night.
